What should I make?

[PollyannaMom]

Looking for ideas to bring a dish to MIL's for Christmas dinner. She's doing the ham and the potatoes (probably scalloped, but maybe mashed). Someone else already signed up for broccoli salad, and it's wide open from there.

Nobody is fussy about having to skip (or take less of) a side dish because of their own particular diets, but major bonus points for something that accommodates all these at once:
low sugar/low(-ish) carb
low sodium
no tree nuts

I always do either roasted brussel sprouts or grilled/roasted veggies, when bringing a low carb side dish. I use high quality EVOO and fun spices to give them zip without a lot of salt. Maybe some parm cheese. I eat Keto, so that’s my wheelhouse.

Roasted veggies. I usually do carrots that I drizzle olive oil over before roasting. Green beans and garlic is another veggie I roast too. Sometimes I add a little cinnamon and brown sugar to the carrots, not alot, just some for flavor.

Macaroni and Cheese made with whole wheat pasta.

Sautee whole greenbeans in bacon grease with chopped garlic and cherry tomatoes. Delicious, light and very festive-looking on the table.

church lady deviled eggs

I was thinking roasted vegetables too.

I second the deviled eggs.

These all sound good and were things I was going to suggest, too. So thinking of something else, not sure how many people you’re serving, but roasted acorn squash is delicious, too. We cut them in half, then sprinkle with salt, pepper and garlic powder. Place on a cookie sheet and add a dab of butter and brown sugar on the inside of each halved squash. Bake for about 40 mins and baste the butter mixture around the top and inside of the squash a few times while roasting. For travel you can mostly cook them at home in a disposable tray and cover w foil for the ride, then heat in oven again when you get there. Bring enough so everyone gets one half.

I know I am doing deviled eggs......I have a snowman egg plate I don't get to use much. This is the year.

Otherwise.....green salad?

I went with the deviled eggs, and they were a hit.

I went with the deviled eggs, and they were a hit.

Awsome, they are such unsung heroes - personally I love them with relish but I need to make a few that are like little egg salad pods for those who don't like the sublime sophistication of chopped sweet gherkins.

Always a good choice

I also put relish in my egg salad so those people would be out of luck around here.
